Pffft dont be so serious. Tis a beautiful broadside i must admit. :p

Pfffffft thats not a broadside!! Thats a spoon!!!!!!

THATS A GUN!!!!!!!! Doofus!! lol. I think you'll find a train lugging a multiple warhead nuclear missile around will be far better than a poxxy gun, powerful as it is. Its more limited with its firing too!!! I'm debating starting to build one but as at the moment the only train i have is one of the original battery train sets i'm gona be a bit stuck!!!

A missile train!!!!! Y'all got this army building up and what not but surely the best detterent would be a nice ole missile train (as in one that launches them not one that is missile shaped) Such as this...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RT-23_I...burg_museum.jpg Just a thought and as i have only pirate fleets, a small island and crane i feel i don't have the necessary parts to even start attempting this. >:-(

Nice!! I think you could quite comfortably squeeze in an extra cannon either side towards the rear though.

As several of you may have seen i have a treasure ship based on a BSB and its all nice and completed except the interior of the cabin. Just wondered if theres anyone out there with useful ideas for me to put in there? Pics would be helpful. All that currently resides there is 4 lego treasure chests full of gold and a parrot.... So if theres any budding laurence llewelyn bowens out there with ideas (though maybe not so garish) then pls give me some ideas!!!

Lies!!! Tis no piggy bank!!!! Tis a heavily armoured cargo vessel!!!! What better way to stop the heathen barbarians and pirates from stealing the precious tax moneys then by melting all the gold and silver into collossal 'coin' shapes. Thus eliminating pilfering by any pirates as they can't lift the treasure!!!!

Indy might however get caught in a time portal whilst drinking heavily in a bar in essex and thus end up stuck back in the glorious age of British Naval Dominance!!!

Hahaha. I guess i invited the anti-scouser jokes. And yes phred it is the rebuilt treasure ship from a while back, although if im honest the two ships i have switched roles and what was the treasure ship is now going to become my escort ship, if i ever get round to scrounging enough bricks to complete the hull. I haven't as yet completed the inside of the captains cabin, all thats in there at the moment is 4 treasure chests full of standard lego gold. Proper minted are my men. Got bored tonight and started on a little outpost for them too but time will tell if i ever get it to be how i want it to be! I don't lug round

Haha. Well my men are scroungers who mysyeriously end up with items from all over time, amazing what you can find at sea. N what are you talking about, sawdust to soak up blood??? I'm from liverpool, we just have thicker carpets or the decency to fight outside. :P

Not stolen!!!!! It was impounded during an imperial raid. Thats also how the managed to obtain proper rifles whilst all around them are still stuck with flintlocks. :P

32c Welcome one and all to my newest moc. BSB related as ever and this i think will be the final incarnation of this paticular vessel though her sister ship is still languishing between builds. I'm open to suggestions for improvements and there is still a little work to be done on the back end of the ship and cabins quarters not to mention the lack of access to the top deck.... But yer the main key idea behind this ship was cargo space. As you can see in the pictures she has a HUGE cargo hold. Due to the nature of the cargo at the moment the main deck is converted to a gun deck to provide protection from pirates and alike. For other cargos this deck could also be utilised for cargo. The foredeck carries two cannons too to be sure that anyone trying to get in the way coming into or out of any ports will hastely be moving out of the way. 8 cannons bless her topside, 3 a side with 2 chasers. Not the most formidable of firepower arrangements but more than enough to see off any pirate BSBs and even if she comes across a SES then her marines should be sufficient to protect her. The Marine detachment are aboard to protect the cargo and the crew has the admiral aboard to keep an eye on the most precious cargo. She comes heavily armoured with tumbelhome sides and despite the vast quantity of cargo carried she still manages to be a fairly rapid little ship.

South essex................. put a white escort on it with a bleach blonde behind the wheel?

I love the bookshelf. Very detailed. My ship may find itself with a small library i'm thinking.... hmmm

http://www.brickarms.com/ Theres your AK's my good man! ;)

East india company had a huge army. N it wasnt just india. Go for east indian trading company army.

sell it and buy 2 opened ones and start a fleet!

On second thoughts i think you should definitely give me some of them there troops!!! 18 pirates to my 6 redcoats 1 red coat admiral 1 blue coat admiral 4 stormtroopers 3 US Troops 2 US lieutenants 1 US Captain 10 Explorer dudes. No 1 faction can out number the pirates. :( Unless they get hold of the 24 odd cannons i have laying about hmm.

Give me someeeeeeeee. I want em for crewing up my ships!!!! Hmmmmmmmm Jealousy aside they're looking good. When you gona show us some more work on their lil garrison???

No no its not just a case of what sets you have!!! I think this would be a nice place to see peoples collections all together, you know their ships and bases and forts or lil random things to do with pirates. I had the ingenius idea of rebuilding both my ships (despite one not even being finished) and so now i currently have a pile of lego and 2 BSB hulls with bows built up and thats about it!

That treehouse is awesome. I'm well impressed. The ships pretty cool too. My money ship best watch out if it ever gets bloody finished!!!!!

So here are some more pics. I can't really be bothered putting them in both threads. But theres a few pics of the ships together etc.... Ships together Ships together again Ships from above weapon storage and money storage cannon deck and magazine entrance inside the magazine http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/CaptainW...5.jpg_thumb.jpg ^^ guard for the magazine entrance! These should show a few of the improvements i've added to the ship. The escort ship remains the same and i still havent fixed the high wall. But the ship its escorting has gained more sides, a central weapon storage passageway accessable by ladders built into the walls which you cant really see at the moment but i'll fix that soon. Where the money is on the ship will eventually be covered once i get the structure finished. N i still need to sort out out the main section of deck over the captains cabin. The magazine/weapons locker at the front of the ship was a bit of a last minute idea and at the moment is pretty cramped and small, i may just fill it with small arms instead as they'll fit in much nicer, its got a guard at the moment too. Debated moving the doorway forward and sacrificing 2 cannons to have a secure treasure room. I just hope my links work this time!!!

Ahhh. I have the 2 ships, 1 under construction n 1 that is complete but will probably get tweaked when i finish the one under construction. I've had no pc for the past week and a half so its been i've not been able to get any more pics uploaded but should be able to get some up later today and when i do i shall post some side by side pics etc!

Of which side to side?
